Blake's First Pair Of Clarks Shoes: Prewalkers

Over the weekend Blake hit a milestone and now at nearly 15 months old he

has got his first pair of shoes from Clarks.

He isn't walking on his own just yet but he is cruising and walking with the use of a walker and with the help from me and Stuart.

Blake has worn pram shoes before from Next very occasionally but we decided

it was time that he starts to get use to proper shoes before he is off and walking on his own.

To help encourage him to walk we have been doing the following:

-Using push-along toys to help aid walking

- Using verbal encouragement when he is walking with help

- making a game of pointing at a toy or object and helping him to walk over to it.

So anyway, Saturday lunch time we went into our local Clarks store to see what shoes they had.

Our local store is rather small so only have a small collection but I spotted these

pre-walkers. I liked the navy colour as it will go with the majority of items of clothing in his

wardrobe. I really love the cute plane design on the side too.

Blake was rather excited and his usual happy and smiley self in the shop

and was fine getting his little feet measured.

Once we knew his size the lady brought out the shoes that we had chosen and put

them on Blake and made sure that they were a good fit.

He is very happy with his new shoes and seems to love wearing them which

means they are obviously comfy.

We chose to get pre-walkers because as he is cruising and walking with aid

and the floors in our home are wooden so with bare feet or socks he slips over easily.

We do however make sure that he doesn't have shoes on all the time to make sure that he gets used to walking bare foot as well.

One of the things I really liked about the experience of buying his first pair of shoes

was that you get a free photo of your child wearing his/her first shoes.

Now with Blake it was very tricky and took quite a few attempts of trying to get

a goodish photo. He wasn't really playing ball but we do have a photo although not the best one. However as you can see at home he was ok in doing so for Mummy although he does look less than impressed.

Amelia got her first shoes from Clarks when she was around 8mths, she had just started to hover so we got her the cutest little pink pair i could find!! The lasted all of a month or so before her feet grew lol Your little one is so cute and i bet hes needing new ones soon too!!

I think we did go to Clarks for our first pair too as they're so good with the different types. No photo sadly! I do like their kids'range although I prefer not to use our local branch after a few bad experiences.

Those shoes look adorable! I remember when we first got our daughter her first proper shoes (not baby shoes) like it was yesterday. Her first pair was from Startrite and then moved on to Clarks too :) Dean of Little STeps

we got our first shoes from clarks and they were so cute then (i think all baby feet are cute because they are so small :p) they gave us such a great experience in their with a photograph as well ! was so lovely

Clarks are defo the best quality kids shoes, We always get my eldest's school shoes from there and to be honest it's just not worth buying the cheap ones as you end up buying loads of pairs a year. xxxx

I went to Clarks for my eldest's first shoes. They are expensive but they make such an occasion out of it. I loved the photo and the little keep sake box and will be repeating this when my youngest is up on her feet.

I don't have children but I remember being taken to Clarks for all my shoes. I used to think they weren't cool but actually they looked after my feet. One of my friends from school who never owned a pair of shoes from Clarks had to have bunions removed from BOTH feet at the age of 20.
